Embracing Interdependence

This facilitated, structured conversation among attendees uses "Embracing Interdependence," UUAM's new small-group-ministry-style curriculum, to foster discussion about the implications of new language recently adopted by the UUA in its bylaws: "We covenant to protect Earth and ALL BEINGS from exploitation. We will create and nurture sustainable relationships of care and respect, mutuality and justice. We will work to repair harm and damaged relationships." [emphasis added] If you'd like to find a way to introduce discussion of the potential implications of this new UU covenant in your congregation, "Embracing Interdependence" (https://www.uuam.org/embracing-interdependence) provides an accessible entry point. Come experience it for yourself, and then consider bringing it to your congregation. Free. Moderator: The Rev. Stacey Mitchell, UUAM Treasurer, and Interim Senior Minister, First Unitarian Church of Albuquerque. Rev. Stacey was ordained in 2023 after completing her Master of Divinity at Union Theological Seminary in New York in 2021, along with an Eco-Chaplain Certification from Sati Buddhist Center. She is a Buddhist UU who has extensive experience in meditation work, and she came to ministry with over 15 years of experience in nonprofit leadership and financial management.
